This pagoda, lying next to Truc Bach Lake, was founded in the era of the King Ly Thai To (1010-1028). Dedicated to the God Huyen Thien Tran Vo who guarded the north, it is ornately decorated and stands before a pleasant courtyard shaded by banyan trees. Particularly impressive is an imposing four-ton bronze statue of the God, cast in 1677. His emblems, a snake and a tortoise accompany are also represented.
